[0002] There are a lot of acupuncture points on the human ear. Massage of the ear can promote blood and lymph circulation, improve the body's metabolism, regulate the functions of various parts of the body and organs, improve the body's health level, and have a good auxiliary treatment effect on tinnitus, dizziness, insomnia, headache and other diseases. Since manual massage requires a lot of time and energy from doctors, the patient's experience cost is high, and it can only be experienced in professional institutions such as hospitals. Therefore, various automatic massage devices have been produced on the market, which can replace manual ear massage for people in need.

[0020] In order to make the technical problems, technical solutions and beneficial effects to be solved by the present application more clearly understood, the present application is further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments. It should be understood that the specific embodiments described herein are only used to explain the present application and are not used to limit the present application.

[0021] Unless otherwise defined, all technical and scientific terms used herein have the same meaning as those commonly understood by those skilled in the art to which this application belongs; the terms used herein are only for the purpose of describing specific embodiments and are not intended to limit this application. The terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof in the specification and claims of this application and the above-mentioned figure descriptions are intended to cover non-exclusive inclusions.

[0022] With regard to the prior art, the massage method and massage position of the ear automatic massage device are relatively simple, and the manual massage technique cannot be simulated well, resulting in a poor user experience.

[0023] Based on this, in order to better simulate the manual massage technique for the human ear and improve the user experience of the device, the embodiment of the present application provides the following solution.

[0024] Example 1: Please refer to Figures 1 to 5The embodiment of the present application provides an ear massage device for otolaryngology, which includes a base 1, a first massage mechanism, a support plate 3, a support plate 4 and a support mechanism. The first massage mechanism is arranged on the support plate 4 and is used to cooperate with the support plate 3 to massage the patient's ear. The support mechanism is arranged on the base 1 and is used to install and support the support plate 3 and the support plate 4; wherein the first massage mechanism includes a mounting cylinder 21, a motor 22, a first gear 23, a second gear 24, a pressing pestle 25 and a control component. The mounting cylinder 21 is slidably arranged on one side of the support plate 4, and the mounting cylinder 21 is away from the side of the support plate 4. A tooth groove 211 is opened, and a silicone sleeve 212 is fixedly set on the side of the mounting tube 21 away from the support plate 4. The motor 22 is fixedly set inside the mounting tube 21, and the output shaft of the motor 22 passes through the side of the mounting tube 21 close to the silicone sleeve 212. The first gear 23 is located at the center of the tooth groove 211 and is keyed to the output shaft of the motor 22. The second gear 24 is set inside the tooth groove 211 and is meshed with the first gear 23 and the mounting tube 21 for transmission. One end of the pressing rod 25 is fixedly connected to the side of the second gear 24 close to the silicone sleeve 212; the control component is used to control the mounting tube 21 to reciprocate along the arc.

[0025] As can be seen from the above, when using the massage device, the user maintains a lying position and places the head on the base 1, and then moves the support plate 3 and the support plate 4 through the support mechanism, so that the support plate 3 and the support plate 4 move synchronously, and then moves the support plate 3 to the bottom of the ear, so that the support plate 3 lifts the ear, and at this time the support plate 4 drives the mounting tube 21 to move so that the silicone sleeve 212 moves to the top of the ear and contacts the ear, and then starts the motor 22, the motor 22 drives the first gear 23 to rotate, the first gear 23 drives the second gear 24 to rotate, and the second gear 24 drives the pressing pestle 25 to rotate around its own central axis while making a circular motion around the central axis of the first gear 23, the pressing pestle 25 presses the user's ear through the silicone sleeve 212, which can better simulate the effect of kneading the user's ear by hand; at the same time, the control component controls the mounting tube 21 to reciprocate along an arc simulating the curvature of the human auricle, and can massage various parts of the ear, thereby improving the use effect of the device.

[0026] 2 In some embodiments, please refer to Figure 2 and Figure 5The control component includes a first connecting shaft 261, a first transmission bar 262, a second transmission bar 263 and a first stepper motor 264. An arc groove 41 is opened at one end of the support plate 4 close to the mounting tube 21. The first connecting shaft 261 is slidably set inside the arc groove 41. The side of the mounting tube 21 away from the silicone sleeve 212 is fixedly connected to one end of the first connecting shaft 261. One end of the first transmission bar 262 is rotatably connected to the end of the first connecting shaft 261 away from the mounting tube 21. The first stepper motor 264 is fixedly set on the side of the support plate 4 close to the mounting tube 21. The output shaft of the first stepper motor 264 passes through the support plate 4. One end of the second transmission bar 263 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the first stepper motor 264. The other end of the second transmission bar 263 is hinged to the end of the first transmission bar 262 away from the first connecting shaft 261.

[0027] With such arrangement, when the equipment is started, the output shaft of the first stepper motor 264 drives the second transmission bar 263 to rotate, and the second transmission bar 263 pushes the first connecting shaft 261 to move along the arc groove 41 through the first transmission bar 262. When the first connecting shaft 261 moves to the farthest end of the arc groove 41 from the first stepper motor 264, the first transmission bar 262 and the second transmission bar 263 are located on the same straight line, and the second transmission bar 263 continues to rotate and pulls the first connecting shaft 261 to move back along the arc groove 41 through the first transmission bar 262. When the first connecting shaft 261 moves to the nearest end of the arc groove 41 from the first stepper motor 264, the first transmission bar 262 coincides with the second transmission bar 263, and the second transmission bar 263 continues to rotate and pushes the first connecting shaft 261 to move toward the far end of the arc groove 41 through the first transmission bar 262, thereby causing the first connecting shaft 261 to drive the mounting tube 21 to continuously reciprocate along the arc groove 41.

[0028] 3 Optionally, in some embodiments, referring to Figures 1 to 3 An inflatable cushion 11 is arranged on the base 1, and the supporting mechanism includes a first supporting arm 51, a second supporting arm 52, an H-shaped bracket 53, a second connecting shaft 54 ​​and a locking assembly. One end of the first supporting arm 51 is rotatably connected to the base 1, and one end of the second supporting arm 52 is hinged to the end of the first supporting arm 51 away from the base 1. The second connecting shaft 54 ​​is fixedly connected to the end of the second supporting arm 52 away from the first supporting arm 51, and one end of the H-shaped bracket 53 is rotatably connected to the second connecting shaft 54. The locking assembly is used to limit the rotation of the first supporting arm 51, the second supporting arm 52 and the H-shaped bracket 53; the supporting plate 3 is fixedly arranged on the end of the H-shaped bracket 53 away from the second connecting shaft 54, and the end of the supporting plate 4 away from the mounting tube 21 is hinged to the H-shaped bracket 53. The first massage mechanism also includes an adjusting assembly, which is arranged on the H-shaped bracket 53 and is used to adjust the pressure of the silicone sleeve 212 on the patient's ear.

[0029] With such arrangement, before using the device, the user lies flat and places the head on the inflatable cushion 11. At this time, the height of the user's head needs to be adjusted so that the height of the user's ear can better match the support plate 3. The user can inflate or deflate the inside of the inflatable cushion 11 so that the inflatable cushion 11 raises or lowers the user's head and adjusts the user's head to a suitable height; then the first support arm 51, the second support arm 52 and the H-shaped bracket 53 are rotated, and the angle of the support plate 3 is adjusted so that the side of the support plate 3 is close to the base of the user's ear. At this time, the bottom of the user's ear is in contact with the top of the support plate 3, the mounting tube 21 and the silicone sleeve 212 are located above the ear, the pressing rod 25 is pressed against the silicone sleeve 212 so that the silicone sleeve 212 is in contact with the ear, and then the first support arm 51, the second support arm 52 and the H-shaped bracket 53 are fixed by the locking assembly; the user can adjust the pressure of the pressing rod 25 on the user's ear through the adjustment assembly, thereby allowing the user to adjust the intensity of the massage according to their own needs, thereby improving the comfort of the user when using the device.

[0030] 4 Optionally, in some embodiments, referring to Figure 3 and Figure 4 The locking assembly is provided with three groups, which are respectively arranged on the second connecting shaft 54, the connection between the first supporting arm 51 and the second supporting arm 52, and the connection between the first supporting arm 51 and the base 1; the locking assembly includes a knob 551 and a damping plate 552, and the knob 551 and the damping plate 552 are both arranged on a surface of the H-shaped bracket 53 close to the supporting plate 4, the second connecting shaft 54 ​​passes through the knob 551 and the damping plate 552, and a surface of the damping plate 552 close to the knob 551 is fixedly connected to the knob 551, and the knob 551 is threadedly connected to the second connecting shaft 54.

[0031] With such arrangement, after adjusting the angles and positions of the first support arm 51, the second support arm 52 and the H-shaped plate, the knob 551 is turned so that the knob 551 drives the damping plate 552 to approach the H-shaped bracket 53. After the damping plate 552 contacts the H-shaped bracket 53, the knob 551 is continued to be turned until the damping plate 552 is pressed against the H-shaped bracket 53. The static friction between the damping plate 552 and the H-shaped bracket 53 can prevent the H-shaped bracket 53 from rotating, thereby completing the fixation of the H-shaped bracket 53. Similarly, the first support arm 51 and the second support arm 52 can be fixed by the same operation, thereby completing the fixation of the first massage mechanism and the support plate 3, facilitating subsequent massage operations. After the massage is completed, each knob 551 is turned in the opposite direction to release the lock of the first support arm 51, the second support arm 52 and the H-shaped plate, and then they can be folded up.

[0032] 5 Optionally, in some embodiments, see Figure 6 and Figure 7The adjusting component includes a first abutment plate 61, an adjusting plate 62, a first elastic member, a second elastic member and a limiting member. An opening 531 is provided on a surface of the H-shaped bracket 53 close to the support plate 4. One end of the first abutment plate 61 and one end of the adjusting plate 62 are both hinged on the H-shaped bracket 53. An end of the first abutment plate 61 away from the H-shaped bracket 53 abuts against a surface of the support plate 4 close to the H-shaped bracket 53. The first elastic member is arranged between the first abutment plate 61 and the support plate 4, and is used to apply a force to the first abutment plate 61 to make it press against the support plate 4. The second elastic member is arranged between the support plate 4 and the H-shaped bracket 53, and is used to apply a pulling force to make the support plate 4 close to the H-shaped bracket 53. The limiting member is used to fix the adjusting plate 62 at different positions so as to adjust the elastic force applied by the first elastic member to the first abutment plate 61.

[0033] It can be understood that the first elastic member can be various mechanical parts that withstand pressure, such as compression springs, metal elastic sheets, etc.; the second elastic member can be various mechanical parts that withstand tension, such as tension springs, elastic ropes, etc.

[0034] With such arrangement, due to the different thickness of the ears of different users, after adjusting the positions of the mounting tube 21 and the supporting plate 3, the silicone sleeve 212 may not contact the ear. At this time, the user can release the fixing of the adjusting plate 62 by the limiter, and then rotate the adjusting plate 62 to increase the distance between the adjusting plate 62 and the first abutting plate 61, thereby extending the first elastic member, and reducing the elastic force of the first elastic member on the first abutting plate 61. The supporting plate 4 rotates downward under the pulling force of the second elastic member and the gravity of itself and the parts installed thereon, so that the silicone sleeve 212 moves downward and fits tightly against the ear of the user, and then the adjusting plate 62 is fixed by the limiter. When the mounting plate rotates, it pushes the first abutting plate 61 to rotate downward, and the second abutting plate 61 is rotated again. An elastic member is compressed, and the support plate 4 reaches a balanced state again under the action of various forces; then the user can adjust the intensity of the massage. First, release the fixing of the adjustment plate 62 by the limit member. When the massage intensity needs to be increased, the adjustment plate 62 is rotated downward, and the first elastic member is extended to reduce the elastic force it applies to the first abutment plate 61. At this time, the pressure of the silicone sleeve 212 on the user's ear increases to supplement this part of the reduced elastic force. After adjusting the pressure of the silicone sleeve 212 on the user's ear to an appropriate size, the adjustment plate 62 can be fixed by the limit member. Similarly, the position of the adjustment plate 62 can be changed to rotate it upward to reduce the pressure of the silicone sleeve 212 on the user's ear, thereby reducing the intensity of the device during massage.

[0035] 6 Optionally, in some embodiments, see Fig. 9The massage device also includes a second massage mechanism, which includes two symmetrically arranged pressing rods 81 and a mounting assembly. The mounting assembly is arranged on the second connecting shaft 54, and is used to install the two pressing rods 81 and control them to rotate around the second connecting shaft 54. A connecting ball 811 is arranged at one end of the pressing rod 81, and a massage ball 812 is sleeved on the connecting ball 811, and the massage ball 812 is rotatably connected to the connecting ball 811.

[0036] With such arrangement, the first massage mechanism can simulate the kneading action of fingers on the human ear during manual massage, and the device can also simulate the pushing and pressing action of fingers on the ear root of the human body through the second massage mechanism; after the use of the first massage mechanism is completed, the lock of the H-shaped bracket 53 by the locking assembly at the connection between the H-shaped bracket 53 and the second support arm 52 is released, and then the H-shaped bracket 53 is rotated to make it away from the second massage mechanism to provide sufficient space for the use of the second massage mechanism; after adjusting the position of the first massage mechanism, the positions of the two massage balls 812 are adjusted by adjusting the positions of the first support arm 51 and the second support arm 52, so that the two massage balls 812 are The ball 812 is located on both sides of the user's ear and is close to the user's ear root near the ear tip, and then the pressing rod 81 and the massage ball 812 are driven to rotate around the second connecting shaft 54 ​​through the installation component. The massage ball 812 rotates relative to the connecting ball 811 and moves along the ear root close to the user's ear root. After the massage ball 812 moves to the user's earlobe, the installation component drives the pressing rod 81 and the massage ball 812 to rotate in the opposite direction around the second connecting shaft 54, so that the massage ball 812 can continuously reciprocate along the user's ear root, simulating the pushing and pressing action of fingers on the human ear root during manual massage, which can improve the practicality of the device.

[0037] 7 In some embodiments, see Fig. 9 The mounting assembly includes two groups of symmetrically arranged first support cylinders 91 and second support cylinders 92, a connecting plate 93 and a power assembly. One end of the first support cylinder 91 is rotatably connected to the second connecting shaft 54. Both ends of the connecting plate 93 are respectively fixedly connected to one end of the two first support cylinders 91 close to the second connecting shaft 54. One end of the two second support cylinders 92 are respectively slidably connected to the inside of the two first support cylinders 91. Two pressing rods 81 are respectively arranged on one end of the two second support cylinders 92 away from the second connecting shaft 54. A second abutment plate 911 is fixedly arranged inside the first support cylinder 91. A third elastic member is arranged between the second abutment plate 911 and the second support cylinder 92. The third elastic member is used to apply a force to the second support cylinder 92 to make it away from the first support cylinder 91. The power assembly is used to control the two first support cylinders 91 to rotate around the second connecting shaft 54.

[0038] With such arrangement, when the second massage component massages the user's ears, the power component drives the two first support cylinders 91 to rotate around the second connecting shaft 54, and the first support cylinder 91 drives the second support cylinder 92 and the pressing rod 81 to rotate. Since the distances from different parts of the user's ear roots to the second connecting shaft 54 ​​are different, one end of the second support cylinder 92 can be telescopically moved inside the first support cylinder 91 and, pushed by the third elastic member, keep the massage ball 812 close to the user's ear roots and move.

[0039] 8 In some embodiments, please refer to Figures 6 to 9 The first elastic member includes a first spring 63, one end of the first spring 63 abuts against the first abutting plate 61, and the other end of the first spring 63 abuts against the adjusting plate 62. The second elastic member includes a tension spring 64, one end of the tension spring 64 is fixedly connected to the support plate 4, and the other end of the tension spring 64 is fixedly connected to the H-shaped bracket 53. The third elastic member includes a second spring 912, one end of the second spring 912 abuts against the second abutting plate 911, and the other end of the second spring 912 abuts against the second support cylinder 92; the limiting member includes a limiting plate 71, a third spring 72, a piston 73 and a limiting pin 74, and a plurality of limiting holes 711 are provided on the limiting plate 71. The limit plate 71 is fixedly set on the H-shaped bracket 53, a slide groove 621 is opened on the adjustment plate 62, the piston 73 is slidably set inside the slide groove 621, and the spring is set inside the slide groove 621. One end of the spring abuts against the piston 73, and the other end abuts against the adjustment plate 62. One end of the limit pin 74 is fixedly connected to the side of the piston 73 away from the spring, and the other end of the limit pin 74 passes through the limit hole 711; the power component includes a second stepper motor 82, the second stepper motor 82 is fixedly set inside a first support cylinder 91 close to the H-shaped bracket 53, and the output shaft of the second stepper motor 82 is transmission connected with the second connecting shaft 54.

[0040] It can be understood that the transmission connection between the second stepper motor 82 and the second connecting shaft 54 ​​can be gear transmission, pulley transmission, etc.

[0041] When the locking cam 72 is in the closed position, the locking cam 72 is in the closed position, and the locking cam 72 is in the closed position, so that the locking cam 72 is in the closed position. The adjustment plate 62 is re-fixed in this adjustment hole, and the user can repeat the above steps to continue changing the position of the adjustment plate 62 until the adjustment plate 62 is rotated to a suitable position; when the power component controls the two first support arms 51 to rotate, the output shaft of the second stepper motor 82 rotates, and since the second connecting shaft 54 ​​is fixed and cannot rotate, the second stepper motor 82 drives the two first support cylinders 91 to rotate around the second connecting shaft 54 ​​under the action of the reaction force of the second connecting shaft 54, thereby achieving the effect of controlling the rotation of the two first support cylinders 91.

[0042] 9 In some embodiments, see Fig.10 The mounting assembly also includes two groups of symmetrically arranged third connecting shafts 94, U-shaped connectors 95 and torsion springs 96. The third connecting shaft 94 is fixedly arranged on one end of the second support tube 92 away from the first support tube 91. One end of the U-shaped connector 95 is rotatably connected to the third connecting shaft 94. One end of the pressing rod 81 away from the massage ball 812 is fixedly connected to one end of the U-shaped connector 95 away from the second support tube 92. The torsion spring 96 is sleeved on the third connecting shaft 94. One end of the torsion spring 96 abuts against the second support tube 92, and the other end of the torsion spring 96 abuts against the U-shaped connector 95.

[0043] With such arrangement, since the base of the user's ear is an irregular curve, when the two massage balls 812 move close to the base of the ear, the torsion spring 96 applies a torsional force to the U-shaped connector 95 to make the two massage balls 812 close to the base of the user's ear in the vertical direction. The torsion spring 96 and the U-shaped connector 95 can also automatically adjust the height of the two massage balls 812 and keep them close to the base of the user's ear when the massage balls 812 move in the horizontal direction, thereby ensuring the massage effect of the massage balls 812 on the base of the user's ear.
